Well, I see that ConText is free and it has the code templates for Python. Looks about right too. So all I need to do is create the script and reference the import poser and basically run it from within Poser? The question I had that started me in this direction was a forum message asking for a Python script that would allow you to "gather" all the necessary files for a particular PZ3 file and put them all in one place so that it could be transfered to another system. It seems you had something like that a while ago but it's no longer available. I was thinking it would be nice to gather the files into a standard runtime folder. The one I'm looking at currently does similar. It copies the actual directories that contain the items in the PZ3 to a seperate folder in the same format as the runtime. Then you just copy this new "runtime" to the new system. I'd like to try to do the same since the one I'm looking at seems to be having trouble working. Plus... I just like to program.... Thanks for all your input guys!! Nebula
